E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary efficacy analysis is to compare the difference between saxagliptin 5 mg od plus metformin plus sulfonylurea versus placebo plus metformin plus sulfonylurea, in patients with type 2 diabetes, as determined by the change in HbA1c levels from Baseline to Week 24/Endpoint. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Compare change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) from Baseline to Week 24/Endpoint between the treatment groups. Compare change in postprandial glucose (PPG) (measured 2 hours after breakfast) from Baseline to Week 24/Endpoint between the treatment groups; Compare proportion of patients achieving a therapeutic glycaemic response at Week 24/Endpoint defined as HbA1c <7% between the treatment groups.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Provision of written informed consent prior to the performance of any study-related procedures.
2.Males and females who are ≥18 years of age at the time of obtaining consent at Visit 1.
3.Clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes with uncontrolled glycaemia in spite of being on the combination of metformin IR or XR (MTD, minimum dose for enrolment being 1500 mg) plus sulfonylurea (at MTD, with minimum dose for enrolment being ≥50% of the maximum recommended dose) daily, for at least 8 weeks prior to Visit 1.
4. HbA1c ≥7% and ≤10% obtained at Visit 1 as confirmed by the central laboratory.
5.BMI ≤40 kg/m2.
6.Females of childbearing potential must be using an adequate method of contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study and for up to 4 weeks after the study in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimised and have a negative urine preganancy test at Visit 2 and each scheduled study visit thereafter. Definitions: - Females of Child Bearing Potential - women who have experienced menarche but who have not been permanently or surgically sterilised, are not postmenopausal and are capable of procreation. - Females NOT of Child Bearing Potential - women who have undergone successful surgical sterilisation (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral oophorectomy) or who are postmenopausal. - Postmenopausal Women - women will be considered postmenopausal if they have had amenorrhea > or = 12 consecutive months; or women on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with documented serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level >35 mIU/ml.
